Default Baffle wrap removal??

Ok, down to it, Removing the baffle wrap, or the fiberglass material thats wrapped around baffles.
Yea, or nay...... Positive result in sound, will it cause negative result in performance?? Dumb question for the earlier bikes prior to efi,

Removed the material with the rush pipes I had , and had good sound results, honestly, didnt feel and decline in performance.

Any feedback, from those who know exhaust and its functionality.... its all fun!!!

Thanks.
Joe
